Austin Community College (ACC) promotes academic, cultural, and social enrichment for students, faculty, and staff. Student Rights and Responsibilities supports students facing barriers and outlines expectations for responsible behavior, respect for others, and maintaining a positive learning environment.
Hazing Awareness and Prevention
ACC is committed to creating a safe learning environment free of harmful behaviors like hazing, which can affect students’ physical and emotional well-being. Students participating in clubs and organizations are expected to comply with ACC policies and procedures and related laws.
Students are expected to follow the Student Standards of Conduct. Violations may result in disciplinary action or sanctions, with the goal of promoting accountability, learning, and personal growth.
Academic Integrity and Disciplinary Process
Academic integrity means taking responsibility for your own work and respecting the work of others. Academic dishonesty undermines learning, creates unfair advantages, and compromises ACC’s academic mission.
ACC’s student complaint procedures provide a fair, consistent process for addressing concerns within the College community, ensuring due process and compliance with applicable federal requirements.
Instructors establish course requirements and grading policies and award grades using their professional judgment. Grades are final except in cases of College error.
ACC’s Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) promotes campus safety by proactively addressing concerning behaviors and coordinating support. If you notice signs of severe student distress or safety risks, submit an online referral for coordinated care and intervention.
